HOW IT HAPPENED

Three minutes into regulation, Johnson & Wales struck first as Allen Ortiz sent in a crossing pass that Erik Schneider headed in for his sixth marker of the season. With 23:48 left in the opening stanza, freshman Jonathan Beaucejour (Wallingford, Conn.) had an opportunity to tie the score, but his shot would go wide and the visitors would trail by one heading into halftime.

Eight seconds into the second, sophomore Diogo Cruz (Naugatuck, Conn.) tried to get things started for the Falcons as the midfielder tried to find the back of the net against the host keeper Nicolas Mancini, but was unsuccessful.

For the remainder of the game, the Wildcats' backline kept the Falcons off the board, despite four different scoring opportunities, to secure the home win and advance to the semifinals.
